Waste paper can be found in cities of any country. The possibility of its reuse has moved several researchers to the development of new technologies with the capacity of transforming this waste into economically viable and environmentally sustainable energy that could reduce the use of fossil fuels. The production of ethanol from lignocellulosic biomass from paper waste has been identified as a promising technology with low processing costs and good yield. The objective of this work was to study the ethanol production processes from paper waste, pointing out important characteristics of the biomass and important factors in the technologies available for the production of ethanol from this raw material.
